5th Generation Warfare and Cabal

The following video is an hour long, but I’m recommending it as a must-see for anyone who’s interested in understanding what’s actually going on in the world. It’s an explanation of 5th Generational Warfare, by man well studied in military affairs, but tackling the topic from a civilian perspective.

So what is 5th Generational warfare? Well – it’s sort of like the metaphorical strategies underlying warfare – that Je ne sais quois described by Sun Tze and Clausewitz – becoming increasingly manifest, and the physical events becoming increasingly less important. The previous generations are:

1st: Classical warfare

2nd: Mechanized/Trench Warfare

3rd: Lightning Warfare

4th: Insurgent Warfare

With the 5th, we hit the inflection point where the militaries and states engaged in warfare start to play second fiddle to transnational forces which underly the conflict. It’s when war becomes a battle for the mind, but that doesn’t begin to do it justice. Amorphous networks are where it resides. It is something very novel, which exists because of our instantaneous communication technology.

For example, look at the Mexican American War to see a precursor to this. The Mexican government of the day had territorial claim to much of what is now the southern United States, but nobody to work the soil and pay taxes, so they welcomed the English speaking settlers from the fledgling nation to the north. Eventually their numbers grew to the point where they developed a cultural/national identity, and they decided to rebel against Mexico and join the US. This blindsided the oldschool strategists of the day, who looked at the world as a Westphalian Risk map. In Risk, all that matters is a territory’s production; not the culture or language of the people who inhabit it, but all of a sudden people’s opinion on Christ’s mother became an important battlefield consideration.

The current unrestrained Mexican immigration through the southern border is similar, it rhymes, but it’s also far different. For one thing there’s more of a diaspora – 18 hours after setting foot on American soldier, an illegal can wind up in any city on the continent; it’s more than simply an invasion or a settlement. Then there’s the matter of Mexican nationals sending money back home to their family – unlike the Texas farmers, they maintain direct ties with their relatives back home, ties that are likely stronger than their ties to their local Mexican community. And finally there’s no particular need for them to overthrow the Yoke of Washington and bring Aztland back into the Mexican fold. Maybe the Mexican government would like to reclaim its lost territory, but the Mexicans in California, Nevada, and Texas – not to mention the Mexicans in New York, Washington, and Alaska – might happily continue living under the American legal regime, while maintaining loyalty to the amorphous idea of Mexico. Loyal to “Mexico”, not to the Mexican government.

We see something similar when we contemplate Cabal.

There’s a point I’ve been making on my livestreams lately (https://dlive.tv/Leo_M.J._Aurini); that hey, maybe I’m wrong about Cabal existing. Maybe I’m just paranoid, or looking for someone to blame for the manifest failures in my own life, and there is no shadowy network manipulating politics and the market for malign ends. Okay, let’s posit that for a moment. It doesn’t exist right now. What about next week?

A massive ecosystem of data has sprung up over the past two decades. Recording devices are ubiquitous, hard drive space is bordering on infinite, and with the advent of AI all of that data can finally be parsed into meaningful conclusions. Maybe Cabal doesn’t exist yet, but the conditions are such – and will remain such, this side of a Carrington event – that it is constantly going to remain a possibility, and enticing niche for a new super-parasite. From now until the end of human history, we will be at risk of falling to the rule of a super-parasite which uses blackmail and manipulation to achieve their ends.

What is 5th Generational Warfare? What is Cabal? Both rely on informal networks defined by methodologies. Praxis. The means become the ends. Look at leftism for a hint of how this might work. Leftists operate by training students to become activists. They don’t ‘teach’ critical race theory – the body of ‘knowledge’ which labels some books as evil, others as good – rather, they train the students in applying critical theory. The class reads a book. The teacher asks a leading question. Then she rewards the student who comes to the most novel conclusion about White Supremacy. Soon enough you have an entire generation trained to become highly-coordinated activists, with very little central control needed. They might not be able to do 8th grade math, but they can all arrive at the steps to the Capitol building to protest for more gun control.

Note: the justification for Leftism is going to be some flavour of Marxist utopianism. They’ll say they’re doing it for economic equality, or racial equity, or something of that nature – they fly the flag of Star Trek’s Galactic Federation as the ideal that they’re fighting for, but that is not what they’re actually doing. Similarly, the illegal Mexican immigrant might dream of the Aztland flag flying over Houston and Los Angeles, but that is not what is actually being accomplished by their ethno-economic diaspora. To understand what is occurring, we must look to the praxis; the actions in themselves. CRT calls anything it doesn’t control racist until it controls it. It spreads like a metastasizing cancer, internally it lacks any explicit rules of hierarchy. The illegal-Mexican diaspora – to the extent that the individuals remain “Mexicans living in the United States”, and not US citizens – likewise abhors explicit rules, and engenders the sort of subterfuge which sees and expansion of Cartel ties. A similar thing exists with Cabal. The original justification – should we look at Preston Bush and his Cowboys in the CIA? Or John Dee, the original 007, and his communiques with what he thought were angels? Or back further still? We see a group dedicated to trying to control the uncontrollable, to make warfare, international politics, and history itself predictable. But their methodology – spying, blackmail, threats – leads to a breakdown of competence and creativity.

5th Generation Warfare and Cabal are just two sides of the same coin; both mark an existential threat to our species, a potential fail-state in which we achieve the end of history, and stagnate into extinction.

Ephesians 6:12For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and power, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.
